Zhao Kuangyin is the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty . He actually had a son, but after his death, he took over the brothers. So, why can he inherit the throne of Taizu Song when his brother is finally together? Most people find it strange that it is really surprising that it is really surprising that they have a son but letting their brothers take over. On the snowy night of October 19th (976), Zhao Kuangyin suddenly summoned Zhao Jiong and asked for funerals. He could not hear anything else. However, under the shadow of the candle, Zhao Jiong sometimes left the seat, as if he was humbly retreating. Then Zhao Kuangyin drew the pillar axe to the ground and said loudly to Zhao Jiong, "It's good to do it." In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kuangyin died in the Wansui Palace in his sleep. Then, it was not his son who ascended the throne, but Zhao Guangyi .
This is how Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne. No matter what, before Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he always served as the Yin of Kaifeng . In addition, he was also named " King of Jin ", ranking above the prime minister. After Zhao Pu sacked the prime minister, Zhao Guangyi's confidant Lu Duosun liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters liters
So, from this perspective, even though Zhao Kuangyin wanted to establish his own son, he had not had time to make changes. Everything at the moment seems to indicate that the successor is his younger brother, Zhao Guangyi. Is the inheritance method of
reasonable?
Brother and this way of succession is reasonable. Even if you have a son, it is not impossible to pass the throne to your brother. It can only be said that the possibility is not high. But, after all, this has its historical background.
The two Zhao Kuangyin brothers lived in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period for a long time. You should know that in this chaotic era, it is really rare for sons to be successors, and they even often take over by adopted sons.
If we look at it alone, Zhao Kuangyin does not seem to have to let his brothers take over, but the two brothers witnessed the chaos and cruel bloodiness of Five Dynasties Ten Kingdoms with their own eyes. Therefore, in order to maintain the power of the Zhao family, and even to save his son's life, Zhao Kuangyin could do so. So, it is not reasonable for brothers to be true after all, and it is reasonable for him to happen.
